"Stop using pedals with P-90s"

[Xpensive Wino]

 

[Any Name You Wish]

If you can handle 95+ db volume, then sure ditch the pedal regardless of the pickup you are using. Do P90 pickups do the "crank the non-master volume amp to break up and roll off the volume to clean up" thing any better than humbuckers? Lots of variables.

I would ALWAYS ditch the pedals if I could play loud enough, but when I'm gigging a 5E3 Deluxe and getting notes from the bartender to turn it down, I need a pedal.

A good soapy just needs a good amp , I have 11 of them ...

I guess anything louder than you have your TV at home is a problem. It ain't right.

P-90s and fuzz are like chocolate and peanut butter.

Or peanut butter and jelly.

Or peanut butter and banana.

Or...

Or....

Or Pepperoni pizza...

You know what's better than a P90 straight into a cranked amp?

A P90 into a cranked ge Treble Booster into a cranked amp.

How else is a man supposed to get his early Sabbath vibe on?

With an SG, a JTM45 not cranked, and a drive pedal (your hearing will thank me).

Of course it helps to have the right amp*s hand wired delicious Sweet Sewell's .

Spot on.

Don't forget to buffer it with a box of Yorkshire Gold.....

What's the pedal after the Wizard? Chorus?

That's a Hungry Robot "The Wash" - a delay and reverb. Think about a Fripp soundscape sort of dodge.

Of course it also helps if you have a great set of P90's in an equally great guitar.

Banker Midnight Special ex Charlie Starr, zillion year old Belize, with Tyson P90's, with one of Curt Emery's masterpieces MicroBaby ( 1 watter run to destruction, loud but not fainting loud )

Pedals need not apply, vacancy filled.

Did my picture really need a comment containing a caveat?

It's not the first time I've noticed that you're a bit of a smart arse.
